On Mechanics,Waves,Oscillations,Heat and Thermo etc etc.

I have been doing Problems In Physics by Irodov.

But i want some more.
 
Physics news on Phys.org
Check out the problem sets accompanying Feynman's series
there ir a series of solved problems, called "Major American Unioversities PhD qualifying questions and solutions" that are pretty good. I have one called "Problems and Solutions on electromagnetism"
and REA's problems solvers
 
Use Krotov, Sena. Both are old Russian books...

I've been looking for a long time for these books, where I'm from it's impossible to find them on stores. Do you know where i can get a copy?
